2013 Dodge Durango Review

The term SUV, for most
vehicles, means a midsized car platform with a large body that has more
headroom. This is not a bad thing
for most people, but when it comes time to need a fully featured, powerful
vehicle to do a job, tow a trailer, or take the football team for pizza after
the game, most SUVs just fall short.
That’s why Perry auto is taking the first look at the all-new 2013 Dodge Durango!

The enlarged platform (also
shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee) makes this model year Durango more refined
and a bit easier to drive. The use
of a Chrysler six-speed transmission keeps the
power of the HEMI V8 engine without overpowering your gas tank!

While many SUVs have gone
away from the classic spirit of what the SUV used to be by having front wheel
drive, the Durango has opted for rear wheel drive, making it a great family
adventure vehicle! The ability to
tow campers, boats and trailers makes family trips to a summer home, ocean
front day trips, and cross country drives an easy task! Towing capabilities are a robust
7,400lbs with a fully equipped package and even if you opt to go with the V6,
you still get a tremendous 6,200lbs worth of power.

The most important part of
any road trip is the drive, and when it comes to comfort features, the Durango
doesn’t disappoint here either! One of the best features is the, with an
adaptive cruise control that allows the engine to drop down to four cylinders if
able, to conserve on gas! Fully equipped models have heated leather seats, a navigation
system, and a nearly 7-inch touch screen, which controls an upgraded nine speaker
sound system! Not to mention a
fully loaded rear passenger entertainment system to keep the “Are we there
yet?” questions at bay.
